The magic takes the children into the willow pattern. (Back cover)

The strange key looks a key word in this time. Nadim bought a blue and white plate, because he gives a present for him mum. The plate was a willow pattern, but he didn’t know why it is called a willow pattern plate. But “I wonder what the story is”, said Biff. Chip and Nadim went to Biff’s bedroom, suddenly the key began to glow as before. The magic took the children into a new adventure, and it was likely that they were in the land of the willow pattern. Down by the lake they saw a girl. She was alone and was crying. The girl was called Kim Shee and she had a cruel father. He would not let her go out of the garden. Also, Kim loved a boy called Chang and she wanted to marry him, but her father wanted to her to marry a rich man, because Chang was too poor. Just then, Chang went to there because of run away with her, but they didn’t know how run away from there. So, Nadim supposed a good idea. They cooperated with Kim and Chang. Also, they planned them strategy, too. By the way, would their plan succeed? I thought that this series often went to the mysterious world. Also, I felt close to this story because of there are such a plate in my house. So, it was very interesting!!

My treaure

My treasures are my family and friends, a lot of letters from my friends and Sylvanian Families.

My first treasure is my family and friends who always help me when I am in trouble. Also, spending time with them is comfortable for me. So, I’m always thankful for their advice.

My second treasure is a lot of letters from my friends and pictures that help me remember those days. Exchange letters were in fashion when I was a junior high school student. So, I used to write to my friends from in my home in those days. I occasionally look over the letters and I seem to have written anything and everything in them. Also, letters from my friends cheered me up and I have cheered my friends up by letter. I’m happy that I receive letters and I think that letters can connect our hearts together. So, I like letters and I treasure them with a lot of pictures in my box.

My third treasure is Sylvanian Families which like a doll’s house. It was very popular among with small children in those days. I was given it by parents as a birthday present. I had wanted them when I was six years old. Sylvanian Families have to collect a lot of furniture and dolls to collect. I bought the mouse’s family first, but I don’t know why I had chosen that family from all the kinds of dolls. Also, the good point of my doll’s house is the big red roof. Moreover, all the kinds of furniture of the Sylvanian Families are very lifelike. I collected them until I was 9 years old. I always played with them with my friends. My doll’s house was very cute!! Sylvanian Families is the best toy I had ever had. I treasure it in box!!

Big family

I love TV programs of the big family. I like the Ishida’s among big families most, because they are all living together happily. They are very famous in big families in Japan. there is special TV program once a year. There is the child of 7 men and two girls in the Ishida’s, but most of the children are an adult and they are independence, so the younger boy of Ishida’s is my junior by three years. I have only a younger brother, so I long for a lot of sibling. I think that there often quarrel between sibling, however they always can help themselves. Also, their father and mother are of a cheerful disposition and conjugal talk is interesting. Also, the children are love for their parents. So, they were wonderful big family!! I want to have wonderful family like Ishida’s in future, too.

The children are making dinosaur models when the magic begins again. (Back cover)

 
This story is the sequel to an illustrated book before. So, I wanted to read it early. This time they went to land of the dinosaurs. The children went through the door of the magic house. The magic took the children to the land of the dinosaurs, but one of the children said that I don’t want to meet a dinosaurs. They saw a giant dragonfly, several dinosaur eggs, a flying dinosaur and an Apatosaurus. An apatosaurs was like the one in the museum, so they found its name. Also, they were frightened by them, but Biff took a lot of photographs them during they were land of the dinosaurs. Just then, another dinosaur was coming and came running after them with a ghastly look. They began to run away in a panic. Just then, the key began to glow in Chip’s hand and the magic took them to Biff’s bedroom. They remembered an unforeseen occurrence a short while ago, so Biff showed a lot of photographs to her father, but they weren’t a film in the camera. It was strange story again and I dint t know its meaning. So, I want to read next story. If I were they, I would more frightener than they.
